My front is not eating

Fronts are especially picky to change, ie moving them. Even more so the bigger they get.

When I moved mine from upstairs to a down stairs tank some of them took 4 weeks to begin eating. If everything else with them seems fine I wouldn't worry too much.

This was something that crossed my mind in the beginning. I figured he was stresses and not sick. Reason being is because the smaller fronts, peacocks, and yellow labs are doing just great. Thanks for the advise

Like Crispy said also I would ditch the yellows and the peacocks.
They are just too active for your fronts to feel secure.

Also when I had fronts I only feed them every other day, or else I would have to clean up lots of uneaten food. When they hit about 7" I only feed 3 times a week.

I noticed my fronts eat less and less the bigger they are also... weird...
